Android Community Nightly: November 30th, 2012

Welcome to the second edition of the Android Community Nightly. Today we'll be wrapping up everything that happened today in Android news. It was a mild day filled with Samsung Galaxy Note II info, budget Android tablets, and updates from Facebook regarding their Photo sync. Read on past the break and we'll dig in regarding everything that mattered to us most today.

We'll start with the Galaxy Note II, since it was pretty popular today. Verizon has officially started shipping Note II's out to their customers as of yesterday and as usual, we snagged one up and posted a quick hands-on. Then because it has that awesome 5.5-inch screen and is on Verizon, we also compared the Galaxy Note II vs the HTC DROID DNA. Speaking of the DROID DNA, HTC posted the kernel source code for that awesome smartphone today for developers to crack into.

In other hardware news Nokia could be coming to Android. Yup, you read that right. A job posting hinted at it although nothing's been anything near confirmed. The Tegra 3 powered OUYA game console is shipping to developers next month, and NVIDIA's TegraZone has seen 6 million games downloaded since it's birth. Congrats to NVIDIA!
